Oh (What A Night)

Last night was amazing, again.
Danny and I had a travel buddy reunion and went and saw The Portrait of Dorian Grey at the Oxford Playhouse for ten pounds. It was amazing. The portrait was an actual actor and whenever Dorian did something vain or killed or indulged, the portrait would come alive and crawl through the frame and be heinous with the main character. It gave me chills and it was really well done.

me and dan-dan in our front row seats!

Then, I got to show Danny and Sabrina what Teddy Hall was really like, and this was my favourite part of the night. We started at The Buttery with Fez, and then moved to the Half Moon, which is a pub right across from Dawson, so it's excellent because I can jet home whenever I like. Sabrina, Danny and Fez were getting along amazingly and we talked about physics (naturally) and astrology (finally, something Fez didn't know about!). Then, Matt and Jay and their mate Tom showed up, and they were rowdy and being quite rude (or, I guess, "humorous" in the British sense of comedy, still trying to see how brutally making for of one another qualifies as "getting along with your mates", haha), but hilarious none the less.

A few inappropriate text messages, swapping of drinks and Van Halen songs later, we discovered the Sailor Jerrys. That's right. Sailor. In the UK.

And, let me tell you, Sailor has never tasted better. :)


Today, I woke up super early (8:30) to run over to the JCR to watch New Zealand win the rugby wold cup! It was awesome, but I was surprised at the amount of French fans at Teddy Hall.
Then, most of the day was spent "relaxing," shoot, I mean reading in the library, and it ended with a nice dose of rugby.

I am in love with playing rugby.

And Jessie, the team captain, might be the sweetest thing on earth, so I totally feel comfortable being the noob and what not, throwing the ball like an idiot into the ground, and catching it and going "Now what?!" But they're all really patient with me, and even the men's captains that help us run our training sessions are so sweet and helpful. I really love the feel of Teddy Hall, it's all about one another. This is Oxford, and yet, I am able to, never having played before, be considered part of a rugby team. Wow.

I am so lucky to be here.

 

 

 

 

 

all souls, again, beautiful, on the way to the play house
